Shusmita Farhad
Age: 24
Occupation: Operations Specialist
Occupation: Operations Specialist
Why She's a Semifinalist: This Bengali girl says she’s reserved and introverted, but she’s successfully completing her New Year’s resolution to live outside her comfort zone, and we’re impressed. She’s got a black belt karate class under her belt and skydiving on her bucket list. Meanwhile, her downtime is more laidback. You’ll find her lounging in bed, watching sitcom reruns to decompress. When asked how she would spend her time if she had all the money she could ever need, she says she’d spend every minute with family and friends. Fortunately she can already do some of that, as she’s following Bengali rules and living at home until she’s married. Her father owns an Indian grocery store, but given her choice of meals, she’ll take the mac-and-cheese at Hibiscus.
Fun Fact: Take a peek in Shusmita’s purse, and you’ll always find an eyelash curler; it’s her go-to beauty product.
